Abstract (en)
Merry-go-round (1) comprising: a rigid supporting frame (2) which is structured for resting on the ground; a central hub (3) which is fixed in axially rotating manner on the top of the supporting frame (2), so as to be able to rotate about a first substantially vertical reference axis (R); a number of swingable supporting arms (4) which jut out from the central hub (3) in a substantially radial direction, and are hinged to the central hub (3) so as to rotate each about a respective second reference axis (A) substantially horizontal and locally substantially perpendicular to the arm longitudinal axis (L), so as to freely swing while remaining on a substantially vertical lying plane; a number of elastically supporting assemblies (5) each of which is interposed between the central hub (3) and a corresponding supporting arm (4), and is structured so as to elastically maintain the corresponding supporting arm (4) in a substantially horizontal resting position; and a number of passenger-holding vessels (6) which are dimensioned so as to accommodate one or more people, and are hanged in a freely oscillating way each to a corresponding supporting arm (4).
